Elon Musk wants to send 1,000,000 people to Mars in an attempt to colonize it making Humans a Multiplanetary Species.

 

His company SpaceX has been developing an Interplanetary Transport System which will be a very big multi-stage rocket equipped with a methane burned with liquid oxygen powered rocket called the Raptor which can exert 675,000 pounds of thrust. 

 

This is 3 times more powerful than their Falcon 9's Merlin engines which push with a force of 200,000 pounds of thrust.

 

Save humanity by colonising Mars!

Well the issue they're gonna have with Mars is the soil can't grow anything (without fertilisation treatment), a lack of water, and the atmosphere is so thin it's not able to have any trees or plants growing and therefore won't be able produce oxygen.

What we don't know is what kinds of new bacteria and such that reside there that can be extremely deadly to humans and all the other animals we plan to bring with us. For all we know our immune systems maybe useless to what awaits us on Mars.

Mars soil is much like the soil in Arizona... it can grow anything with a little water.  Their is plenty of water on Mars they even found proof of running water.

So we were once molten lava people of venus? What the fuck, we lost all of our awesome attributes like shooting fireballs out of our hands and using lava whips and such. I'm such a lame animal that needs weapons to kill. I want to be a bear or Tiger, my spirit animals.

True, but still, SpaceX is quite a big company.. And I suspect him just to move some money around from his other companies to make this happen.. you know Tesla right ? :P

Good luck finding construction workers and engineers who would be willing to go. 

 

I know plenty of people who would totally abandon their family to go to Mars.

Tesla still hasn't turned a profit. If it wasn't for government subsidies it would fold fast

the fucker did land a rocket on a platform in the water. That is pretty bad ass. 

 

Funny how his idea makes them old space movies with a rocket that lands ready for takeoff again some not so far fetched. :)

Really? It seems like a very good business? He/they just build their mega factory in Nevada(was it in Nevada?) so they must flip some money.. But I guess it's not that much money then?

Tesla has never met production goals and manufacturing costs are to high. I have friends that worked there that know the auto industry inside and out. They have received a lot of money from the government to support them. Probably part of a kick back for supplying the space station with his other company. Now that there are other companies building good electric cars at a fair price point that opens it up more to the average person it will hurt tesla's business.

With today's computers and advancements in materials I believe it would have been possible fairly easy to do. Think of the advances in aircraft performance and what they are capable of doing today. A rocket landing like that would use a lot of the same principles of control like the Harrier uses for its hovering and stability.
